Holiday Food - What will you eat?

[Guest guest]

I'm a guest on Christmas Eve (hostess is a great, albeit not NT,

cook), but on Christmas day we're having Carnitas (pork pork pork)

with sinful amounts of guacamole and sour cream on top of corn

tortillas. Dessert will be flan and pecan puffs (aren't they the

best? Unfortunately, I can't eat them anymore and my GF attempt was a

failure) and chocolate chip bars (also can't eat.)

They'll probably be some kind of salad too...

Oh my gosh! I haven't had bread fried in bacon fat since I was little! I

used to love that! We used to have it for breakfast.

Hi, We are starting off with a curried squash soup, then roast goose that we

butchered

/ dressed ourselves about a month ago (it's a " china goose " , probably not the

same

variety that one finds at the store, but roamed out side all the time - has

anyone

here eaten this type of goose?). Also bread / rice stuffing with chestnuts,

endive

salad per NT, winter squash gratin, peas. For dessert, I want to make the

almond

fool in NT (anyone tried it yet?), and maybe a pumpkin pie, too (the squash

theme

coming from the copious amounts of winter squash still in my basement...). Hope

everyone enjoys their celebrations! Vivian
